[SOLVED] How to achieve this?

[jazz2k8]

i am having data like this:Input say it as a.txt

S.No Description Qty. Units Rate (Rs.) Value (Rs.)
1 Aviation Lamp 1 Nos 3700 3,700
2 Lighting Arrester 1 Nos 1600 1,600
3 Aviataion Lamp Cable 31 Rmt 270 8,370

Gross Total 13,670
The above Total include Services Tax Amount of Rs 536
Total Invoice Value 13,670

i would like to get this data in the form of:Output should be

S.No 1
Description Aviation Lamp
Qty. 1
Units Nos
Rate (Rs.) 3700
Value (Rs.) 3700

S.No 2
Description Lighting Arrester
Qty.1
Units Nos
Rate (Rs.) 1600
Value (Rs.) 1600

S.No 3
Description Aviataion Lamp Cable
Qty.31
Units Nos Rmt
Rate (Rs.) 270
Value (Rs.) 8,370

Gross Total 13,670
Tax Amount of Rs 536
Total Invoice Value 13,670

--------------------------------

I tried with Buffered Reader, String Buffer used some regex code.but i am unable to get this..can any body help me in this..one more thing i want s to generate this should work dynamically...If we give any input .txt file the corresponding text should be convert into that format

[sanjeevtarar]

Is your input file format is fix like you have given....

and you want output as a .txt file.....

[sukatoa]

Given the contents of a.txt...

You should get some patterns there.

If the example you've given is like the quote below,

Quote:

S.No Description Qty. Units Rate (Rs.) Value(Rs.)
1 Aviation_Lamp 1 Nos 3700 3,700
2 Lighting_Arrester 1 Nos 1600 1,600
3 Aviataion_Lamp_Cable 31 Rmt 270 8,370

You can use Scanner class for this.

Code:

while(scannerObject.hasNext()){
       s.no = scannerObject.next();
       description = scannerObject.next();
       qty = scannerObject.next();
       unit = scannerObject.next();
       rate = scannerObject.next();
       value = scannerObject.next();
       print those values....
}

Try to have some experiments from it....
(Printing on console may be a good tests)

After that, read the Formatter class....
You can format it like the format you've post...

Code:

Formatter.format("%s\n", String);

System.out.println(Sno);

Did you debug and try to understand what happened there? It's not difficult to get an idea pal.

[Eranga]

In simple word, in you file has 47 elements. Each time you read you read bundle of 6 elements. So what happened is, in last read you have only 5 elements. No 6th element.

Simply you get an exception.

[jazz2k8]

yeah...but i am not getting the output in the desired manner..???

[Eranga]

What you mean there? I'm not clear. You just need element by element to display?

[jazz2k8]

As i told you in my posts my output should be in :

S.No 1
Description Aviation Lamp
Qty. 1
Units Nos
Rate (Rs.) 3700
Value (Rs.) 3700 format..

[Eranga]

Read a line, separate tokens and manipulate the required strings. I think it's the easiest way.

[jazz2k8]

thts ok..but if i want my O.P in the desired format...

[Eku]

The number of characters are different. I think a simplier approach is to add a Delimeter. Then Cut the substring before the Delimeter. You can also check if there is a missing part in the line by counting the delimeters. Here is my suggestion.

S.No Description Qty. Units Rate (Rs.) Value (Rs.)
1$Aviation Lamp$1$Nos$3700$3,700$
2$Lighting Arrester$1$Nos$1600$1,600$
3$Aviataion Lamp Cable$31$Rmt$270$8,370$

Gross Total $13,670$
The above Total include Services Tax Amount of Rs $536$
Total Invoice Value $13,670$

thats how should it look. You can change the '$' sign if you like.
Then, extract all the content of the file into a single String.
Then, get all the Lines and save it into a variable.

Here is how i extracted the Number of Lines and lines in a Single String.

Code:

String LineFeed=null,line=null,Output=null; int ctr=0;
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("A.txt"));
                while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {

                    LineFeed  += line;
                    ctr++;
                  }   LineFeed = LineFeed.substring(4);

Here is where i segregate the desired output i want

Code:

int ptr = ctr-4; String LineFeed2 = LineFeed;
for (i=1; i<ptr;i++){
       try{
        Output += "S.No " + LineFeed2.substring(0,LineFeed2.IndexOf("$")+"\n";
        LineFeed2 = LineFeed2.substring(IndexOf("$")+1);
        Output += "Description " 
                   + LineFeed2.substring(0,LineFeed2.IndexOf("$")+"\n";
        LineFeed2 = LineFeed2.substring(IndexOf("$")+1);
        Output += "Qty. " + LineFeed2.substring(0,LineFeed2.IndexOf("$")+"\n";
        LineFeed2 = LineFeed2.substring(IndexOf("$")+1);
        Output += "Units " + LineFeed2.substring(0,LineFeed2.IndexOf("$")+"\n";
        LineFeed2 = LineFeed2.substring(IndexOf("$")+1);
        Output += "Rate (Rs.) " 
                   + LineFeed2.substring(0,LineFeed2.IndexOf("$")+"\n";
        LineFeed2 = LineFeed2.substring(IndexOf("$")+1);
        Output += "Value (Rs.) " 
                  + LineFeed2.substring(0,LineFeed2.IndexOf("$")+"\n"+"\n";
        LineFeed2 = LineFeed2.substring(IndexOf("$")+1);
        } catch (Exception A){
        System.out.println("Error in Line Number: " + ptr+1);}
} LineFeed2 = LineFeed2.substring(4); //removing the null =)

//Adding the Last Line
LineFeed2 = LineFeed2.substring(IndexOf("$")+1);
Output += "Gross Total " + LineFeed2.substring(0,LineFeed2.IndexOf("$");
LineFeed2 = LineFeed2.substring(IndexOf("$")+1);
Output += "Tax Amount of Rs " 
          + LineFeed2.substring(0,LineFeed2.IndexOf("$");
LineFeed2 = LineFeed2.substring(IndexOf("$")+1);
Output += "Total Invoice Value " 
          + LineFeed2.substring(0,LineFeed2.IndexOf("$");
LineFeed2 = LineFeed2.substring(IndexOf("$")+1);

//Here is the output you Desire
System.out.println(Output);

I Hope that helps. God BLess in your Code

[jazz2k8]

thanks for your advice...nice trick buddy.....

[Eku]

No Problem . . . =)
